Good fighter with pretty good skills, has two wins over a past his prime but still good fighter in Tapia. Didn't do very well against the prime elite fighters such as Morales and Barrera as he was out classed in both fights. Still a good fighter overall.

One of the most underrated fighters in recent memory. Great handspeed, brawling ability and boxing skilleds. Has goods wins over very good champions and was champion at super flyweight, bantamweight and featherweight. Could have done a lot more had he kept a straight head and stayed away from the drugs, but still had a very successful career and is a hall of famer.

Had every tool to be great if it wasn't for his horrible chin. Had a great jab, very good power was offensively brilliant. Has two wins over a peak Barrera and even stopped him in their first fight, completely had Barrera's number. Did well against Morales until he was caught on his jaw. An underachiever IMO but an excellent fighter.
